Mr.. w. j. Hawks, ticket manipulator,
and Mr.. A. r. Grant, assistant ticket

The exercises were inaugurated with,
an organ solo, which Mr.. Hawks MAJ
nipulated with handle. His rendi7
ton of the " Last Rose Of Summer,
with variations will be long femem!
bered. Then followed chorus by
the L. A. NJ. p. Glee Club; recita!

you get the genuine. Because he can
make more profit he may tell you he

The TrundIe-Bed.


As rumaged thro' the attic.
List'niig to the falling rain,
As it pattered on the shingles
And against the window-pane,
Peeping over chests and boxes,
Which with dust were. thickly spread.
Saw in the farthest CORNER,
What was once my trundle-bed.
So drew Il from the recess
Where it had remaiped SO long,
Hearing all the while tie music
OF my mothers voice and song,
As she sang in sweetest accents
What since have often read;
Z Hush, my dear, lie stin and slumbett
"Holy angels guard thy bed" tt'
AS listened, recolIections ~
That thought had been forgot,
Came with all the rush of mem'ry,
Rushing, thronging to the spots
And wandered back to childhood,
To those merry days of yore,
When knelt beside my mother
By that bed upon the floor.
Then it was, with hands SO gently
Placed upon my infant head,
That she taught my lips to utter
Carefully the words she said.
Never can they be forgotten,
Deep are they in mem'ry riveni
"Hallowed be Thy name, o, Father,
Father; Thou who art in Heaven"
This she taught me, then she told me
OF. its import great and deep;
